Overview
Erinvale Golf Club is a Gary Player design, in Somerset West near Cape Town, which has two very different nines. The front nine is flat, with plenty of water hazards in play, while the back nine traverses the slopes of the Helderberg mountain overlooking Somerset West and the False Bay coastline. Erinvale was the first residential golf estate in the Cape Peninsula and Winelands, and within a year of opening, it hosted the 1996 World Cup of Golf, won by the South African duo of Ernie Els and Wayne Westner. It also hosted the 2003 and 2004 SA Opens, both won by 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman, who grew up in the town.
